Question
Mark the correct statements about the structural features of alkenes and alkynes. *
 
 
 
 
A- Free rotation is not possible around a double or triple bond.
 
 
 
 
B- A triple bond is shorter and stronger than a double bond.
 
 
 
 
C- A pi-bond can only form by overlap of p-orbitals on adjacent atoms if these atoms are from the same element.
 
 
 
 
D- The pi-bond in an alkene is weaker than the sigma bond because the sideways overlap of p-orbitals is less than the head-to-head overlap of sp² hybrid orbitals.
 
 
 
 
E- All the bond angles in an alkyne are 180°.
